| Post subject: | TV to Movie? |
I haven't seen this question before, but I would like to know if it can be done. Let's say I record a movie tonight. That movie goes in the TV/Recordings area. BUT, can I move it to the Movie area so I can keep it and get the IMDB info for it and have it just like a ripped dvd? AS of yet, I can't figure out how to do this. TIA |

The quick and dirty way would be to copy the file from /myth/pretty to /myth/video, then delete it within the frontend or to symlink from within /myth/video to the particular file within /myth/tv if you wanted to keep it viewable with the "tv" part. That is, of course if the video scanner app recognises symlinks to video files. Bruce S. |

Bruce S. This won't cause DB problems? |

if you copy the file into /mthy/video it will be listed under MythVideo. Use the frontend to delete the recorded show (like any other recorded tv show) and the /myth/tv file will be deleted, the DB work will be done by the backend. |

files viewed by navigating to Video rather then Recordings Maybe I'm being too nitpicky here, but why not just call it by the correct name? The feature in question is called "mythvideo". I was trying to make a point that the original question was ambitious and none of the answers actually named the feature that was being discussed. The possibility exists that he wasn't asking about mythvideo. On forums like this it is impotent to use the correct names in post titles so that people can understand the conversation and use the search feature. That ends my rant. |

I know this might seem to simple , but I could never get my wife to just copy , so I'd go with a user job to do it. (I have not tested this yet, so it may not work) /usr/bin/move2video Code: #!/bin/sh # move file to /myth/video /usr/bin/mv $1/$2 "/myth/video/$3.mpg" # Delete from recording records # I have used a fake password change to yours /usr/bin/mysql -u mythtv -h localhost -pmythtv mythconverg -e "delete from recordings where basename =$2" User Job Code: /usr/bin/move2video "%DIR%" "%FILE%" "%TITLE%"
Just run this job and then update IMDB records in mythvideo Have fun |

Hi, If you were to copy the matching .mpg.png to the /myth/video/.covers you could the match up the two instead of having a blank square. I use the names from /myth/pretty for my copies show name. Mike |

I was just looking for a way to do this. Will the copying still work if the files have been compressed? Also, is there a way to jus' put all the movie files into one folder in the tv section so they don't clutter things up? |

Quote: Will the copying still work if the files have been compressed? Yes they are still just files , you can do a quick look at some of the talk about converting recording to Xvid for more info , or just transpose.

Ok if you are looking at the recordings then thats is easy. If you EPG, just gives the movies a name title and no subtitle, mytht will not group them together, when you look at the tv recordings, the way to change this is to change the recording names. Not tested /usr/bin/movevideo2recording Code: #!/bin/sh # I have used a fake password change to yours /usr/bin/mysql -u mythtv -h localhost -pmythtv mythconverg -e "UPDATE recordings SET subtitle='$2', title='Movies' where basename =$2" User Job Code: /usr/bin/movevideo2recording "%FILE%" "%TITLE%"
I'm not sure if you are looking for the following for use with your mythvideo http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10371 |
